Page 416: Ahrs & Adc Failures
Abnormal Operations AHRS & ADC Failures The AHRS uses aiding data from the GPS navigator, air data computer, and magnetometer to provide accurate attitude data. Failure of these inputs may cause attitude data to become unavailable. Additional annunciations indicate current alignment and calibration status.
